When will I receive the notification for penalty points?

After receiving penalty points, you will generally receive the notification within 5 working days. Below are some related details about penalty points: 1. The time may vary significantly across different regions. In some cases, it may take up to 10 working days to receive the notification. However, under normal circumstances, it should not exceed 15 working days. 2. If you still haven't received the penalty points notification after 15 working days, it can generally be considered safe, meaning no points were deducted. 3. During the waiting period, you can also check through other channels. You may visit the local traffic police station or vehicle management office to inquire, and the results are usually available by the next day. 4. You can also check for any violations through relevant websites or apps, such as Baidu Maps, Traffic Management 12123, WeChat, etc. Typically, the results can be checked within about 5 days.

Last time I was caught speeding by a camera, I went to the traffic violation processing center to pay the fine. The staff said I would receive a point deduction SMS notification within three to seven days. I actually got the message the next day on the Traffic Management 12123 App – super fast! In big cities, it usually takes one or two days, but in smaller towns, it might take longer. I recommend enabling app notifications to track point deductions in real-time. After receiving the notice, check how many points were deducted, as accumulating too many can affect your driving license's safe driving record. Paying attention to speed limits while driving can help avoid trouble. Delays in notifications might be due to system congestion, so proactively refreshing the app can help retrieve updates.

After being fined for running a red light, I directly handled the ticket on the Traffic Management 12123 APP. The APP automatically sends a demerit point notification, usually on the same day or the next day. Don't worry if you don't receive a text message; just make sure the notification permissions are enabled in the APP settings for instant push notifications. In the past, waiting for text messages was painfully slow without the APP, but technology has made things so convenient now! The processing speed also depends on how quickly the city's database syncs. I recommend all drivers install this APP to avoid unnecessary waiting. Once the demerit point information arrives, confirm the points and reasons, which can greatly help adjust daily driving habits—never ignore it.

As a new driver, I got penalized for illegal parking for the first time and was quite worried after handling it. Two days later, I received a text message deducting one point. My experienced driver friend told me that notifications usually arrive within three days, while camera violations might take longer. It's recommended to set up a mobile app to check violation history more directly. Once received, note down the points and don’t overlook the details. Driving slower and fewer violations can save you a lot of trouble.
